ContributorHi Dr. Barry H,
I put the link in my text, but it didn't work! :-(
It also won't let me just paste the link. I don't know why! Paste this link in your brower:

Regular ContributorHi drbarryh
The link shared by SueC_Altera is the one you are looking for.
It is using the NiosV processor core with the mSGDMA IP.
It is for the Agilex7 but you could recreate the hardware connections in the project for the device that you want.
Do take note on the naming of the par. It should be top.par and not top(x).par if you have downloaded multiple.
But once you managed to unzip the par, you should go thorugh the IP Upgrade which is prompt when you open the project for the first time.
In the project folder you could see a folder names "sw" in it you could see a main source that you could reference on accesssing the mSGDMA IP from the NiosV processor.
ContributorHI tehjingy,
Thanks for confirmation. However when i try to open that top.par file in any version of quartus from 24.1 to 25.1 all it ever says it that the template load failed. Can you say which exact version of Quartus to use and what the procedure should be to get that par file to extract into a quartus project please ?
Thanks for your help, Dr Barry H
ContributorThanks Sue, yes this text boxing can be picky can't it ! Right the link you sent me worked and i can see an AGILEX 7 example design PAR file and it does at least have DMA in it so that is a better start !
Thanks for the help, Dr Barry H
ContributorHi Sue, unfortunately i installed Quartus Prime Pr version 25.3.1 (the latest) and that failed to unravel the PAR file. I will install the version cited to work which was 24.3.1 and try again ! Also the board used is now showing as obsolete as well.
Any idea if there is another ALTERA example design using a NIOSV processor and the mSGDMA IP core i could use ?
Thanks, Dr Barry H
Frequent ContributorHello Dr. Barry,
It’s recommended to use the same Quartus Prime version that was originally used for the design. This helps avoid project migration issues that could alter IP behavior and potentially introduce untested or unexpected results.
I was able to extract the file and have compressed it, it’s attached here. Please let me know if you’re able to download it successfully.
Thank you,
Fawaz
ContributorHi Fawaz, Thanks for the feedback ....and yes that is always true ....try and use the same Quartus version otherwise mayhem can ensue ! Actually i can't see any attached z compressed zip file here ?
Maybe it was removed by Intel server ?
Thanks, Dr Barry H
